“2 people taken to the hospital Tuesday after being exposed to the substance. Neither of those people were members of Cruz’s campaign staff, according to the spokeswoman”.

I wonder if they are the culprits.

This is an act of domestic terrorism.

Nah ... it's an Isolated IncidentTM, carried out by a Lone WolfTM with No Connection to TerrorismTM.

Both will be an incitement for war

Agree, it is domestic terrorism and I wouldn’t be surprised if the Left takes it further and further. There need to be prosecutions and hard jail time for this crap.
